Karma
means action. Action leads to believe the experience of birth, life, death and
world as reality, not to perception of the Reality. The realisation of Truth is
brought about by discrimination and not in the least by individual conduct and
act.
By
adequate reasoning the conviction of the reality about the true existence is
gained, which puts an end to the great fear and misery caused by the waking
experience worked up in the ignorance.
Nothing
is born, nothing is destroyed. No duality, no likes and dislikes. There is no
second thing exist other than awareness of the self. If this is perceived, than it is nondual
reality.
The conviction of the nondual truth
is seen to proceed from soul-centric reasoning, and it does arise neither by
bathing in the holy rivers, nor by a doing Kriya yoga Pranayama or control of
the vital force nor by glorifying gurus.
Success depends essentially on
a qualified aspirant; time, place and circumstances and other such means are
but auxiliaries in this regard.
Seeker
after the truth should take to soul centric reasoning and discriminate between
dual and nondual experiences to realize what truth is and what is untruth.
The
seeker who has intense urge in knowing the truth and sharp in grasping, skilful
in understanding and assimilating without the scriptures, the one who has got
these characteristics is the fit recipient of the self- knowledge.
People, who have not become
firm in their power of reason, quote someone else as authority to support their
reasoning because they have not got fullest confidence in their own powers.
When one is certain, he does
not need any authority to support or confirm himself. There is no need for
it. To appeal to others views, indicates
his own reasoning is incomplete.
The seeker must not tell a lie is the first requirement
in pursuit of truth.” What he like for practical life it is not concerned with.
Seeker has to keep his intuitions and instincts at a distance and he has to
stick to known fact. To inquire, analyze
and reason means to go to the very end of things.
Sharpness to grasp the truth is
necessary in pursuit of truth. By merely hearing the truth mentioned they will
grasp it.
Seeker has to to analyze the
three states; and he has to think consistently on it. Exercise his thinking
faculty and inquire continually; discrimination is essential; this practice is
the only way to understand, assimilate and realize the non-dual truth.
Most people have a complex
"I know". One has to gives up the “I know” business. because of the accumulate knowledge one can’t get rid of the ideas "which
are full of contradictions". Those who do not want
the truth do not see the contradictions in their unverified accepted truth and are satisfied with their accepted
truth.
The modern science is based on
the physical based facts, whereas the ultimate truth or brahman is based on facts of the true existence. The pursuit of starts with the
physical facts, but carries its inquiry
deeper. Seeker has to go more deeply into investigating his own existence and know the facts
he becomes a Gnani, automatically, merely by deeper reflection. Mind merges
into soul ultimately and there is no other way for it.
Many people quote non-duality
without understanding it really in its highest aspect. One who calls himself a
Gnani, but whose philosophy religion and mere quoting scriptures is really by
heart he thinks he is a Gnani. He does
not know that what a scripture says is true or not because he is blindly
accepted scriptures without verifying them and he quotes them as proof.
There are conflicting teachings in spiritual
path and one gets confused as to which are true. People are not capable of
knowing, which path is true path, because they do not know the proper test of
truth.
